This is some more of the same mix that I have been getting out of the loto for the last few weeks. There are a couple big Montana agates that came out nice and I really liked a few of the graveyard point plume agates too. GYP agate Montana agate - side 1 side 2 Another big Montana chunk pudding stone Crazy lace and Turitella These might be lizard stone but I am not positive about that Rocky Butte jasper A couple agates and a pet wood Heres some more of Tony's dark green tumbling jaspers OK, anyone want to help me out with an I.D. on this creature? it was in tony's stuff but there was only one. Thanks for looking, Chuck

Nice job once again chuck. Like the plumes and the lizard stone. The green jaspers took a particularly nice shine

Nice batch Chuck. I didn't know that Turitella could be put into a tumble. Shined up nice. My faves are the Montana's & The Green stones (lizard stone); the last one is very complex and looking really good.

don- turitella can be difficult to tumble and most dont work very well but When you get the darker black material it is usually more solid and less crumbly. when it does work it takes a shine easily.

That first Montana in particuluar is a real beauty! That last stone is a stand-out too... not sure what it is, looks like a breccia of some kind. -Don

I had real good luck with the Turitella from the Rock Shed.

I have had good luck with every rock I have purchased from the rockshed but as soon as we got more then a few 3 pound barrels going it got too expensive to go that route. I highly recommend getting his rough for beginners since its usually ends with successful results.
